chad tracy’s bullpen choices in this series have left a lot to be desired, even if the bats probably made them moot season on the line and it’s eric miller and crochet coming off months on the DL, woof

this Yankees team is not very good outside the pitching. This Red Sox team is *terrible* outside the pitching, and the pitching is not as good as the Yankees

have now seen some of the usual "boohoo it's unfair for a division champ to be eliminated in two games" and I'm sorry but anyone arguing that the playoff format is bad because the 2026 Houston Astros didn't get to play more games is a clown

IMO the Red Sox's 'don't score any runs' strategy has some flaws

it's so wonderful that even as Ronaldo had endless opportunities to close his international career on his own terms as a legend, he has chosen instead "inscrutably pissy" as an approach to the end

a lot of people genuinely seem to think the point of fiction is to be didactic about their specific ideological worldview instead of telling a story which is fine, but not really something that mass market publishing works on

Yup, absolutely. I think it’s wrong to treat the Iran War as simply one bad error that happened to the Trump Admin rather than the entirely logical consequence of the way it operates. If it wasn’t Iran, it would almost certainly have been something else

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

It was the correct move, Don Mattingly made a correct bullpen move. He put his closer in for the 7th and 8th because it was the best chance to see the 9th. Duran piped a 99.9 mph fastball that got hit. There is a litany of managers who lost with their closer standing in the bullpen.

The Braves’ postseason motto is #LetItFly Apparently, the elements are on board with that: Austin Riley’s home run was wind-aided per @weatherapplied.com It was blown out +3 feet. Calm conditions ball hits a foot below the top of the fence.

A good reason to get into baseball for the next month is it's much more fun to have a panic attack about Roki's ability to find the zone than so-and-so poll numbers.

All caveats on specific polls like this aside, it’s kind of funny that a combination of innate pessimism, a feeling of being burnt before in the Trump era and factional infighting mean we haven’t yet seen the usual rush of Dem aligned groups trying to pre-claim credit for what looks like a landslide

The Mets are going to be a piñata all offseason—their modal offseason is making a run at Skubal and not getting him—and then they’re going to be a piñata during the CBA discourse, and after that they will either be good or bad next year, and this will all go away one way or another

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

one of the funniest Mets arcs of the last couple months was Bichette giving quotes to different writers once or twice a week trying to plant reasons other than "the contract I am on is insanely good for the player I currently am" (you know, the real reason) as to why he might opt in

Mélenchon is going to lose to Marine Le Pen 70-30, then Anglo lefties will post videos of the inevitable riots against her government and go 'see, nobody does it like the French left, they're so cool!' and then said riots will disperse within a month having achieved approximately zero change
